M2 Carbon Buckets Retrofit

Saw this pic on Instagram today showing a supposed G42 Carbon bucket leak. I have no idea if it's real or not but If it is I'm curious if they can be retro fitted into the CS. My only gripe is the weird center piece in-between the thighs and the fact that these aren't manual seats.

I believe someone retrofitted those seats from a G80 into a F series M, so it should be straightforward? Could be wrong, but I'd get a G87 just to put these in my CS.

Saw it was done before from this youtube video

IMO, it would be a nice replacement for the OEM seats in the CS if it comes in full manual adjustment (since the electric seats would lose the memory function anyhow as the G8X memory buttons are on the door). I also wonder how practical the space would be for rear passenger ingress / egress when retrofitted to the F87.

It's been done on an F80 but they will cost a pretty penny
